Tsvangirai said Mnangagwa was a spent force

Movement for Democratic Change leader Morgan Tsvangirai said Emmerson Mnangagwa was a spent force and if the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front lost the elections, President Robert Mugabe would be asked to step down.

He was talking to United States embassy officials in the run-up to the 2005 elections which he said his party would win. ZANU-PF won instead with a two-thirds majority.

Tsvangirai said if Mugabe was forced to step down the party would fragment to become no more than a political vehicle for Mashonaland areas because the party had no one strong enough to unite its membership.
